Crawl as they might, the tendrils of online content have not yet dug into every nook and cranny of the physical world.



Unsurprisingly, 1970s Canadian poetry is one vein that has yet to be mined very deeply. 



That said, here’s a gem from 1977′s classic Garbage Delight, written by Dennis Lee and illustrated by  Frank Newfield. 

The Big Molice Pan and the Bertie Dumb

Once a big molice pan
Met a Bertie Dumb,
Sitting on a wide sock
Booing gubble chum.




“Hey,”  said the molice pan,
“Gum and simmy come.”
“Sot your rotten kicking pox!”
Cried the Bertie Dumb.




Then the big molice pan
Rank Jamaica drum,
Wide at dunce, but grows with runts.
(Kate to strinkum. DUM.)
